    During our initial walk-through, we’ll assess your space and recommend which areas to prioritize based on your needs. However, every home is unique, so you can request focus on specific rooms like the kitchen, bathrooms, or high-traffic areas. If any spots need extra attention, just let us know, and we’ll make sure they’re thoroughly cleaned.
  • How often should I schedule a residential cleaning?
    Cleaning frequency depends on your lifestyle and home needs: For homes with pets or high traffic, we recommend bi-weekly cleanings. Busy households with children and pets may benefit from weekly visits to maintain cleanliness. If your home has low traffic and few pets, monthly cleanings might be enough. We also offer one-time deep cleans for special occasions or thorough refreshes. We’ll work with you to create a personalized schedule that fits your needs.
  • What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
    Regular cleaning maintains a tidy space with tasks like dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and cleaning common surfaces. It’s ideal for homes or businesses needing weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly upkeep. Deep cleaning goes beyond basics, including all regular tasks plus intensive work like cleaning behind furniture, baseboards, kitchen appliances, and detailed bathroom areas. It’s perfect for seasonal cleanings, moving, or preparing rentals. If you’re unsure which service fits your needs, we’re happy to help you decide!
  • What does a typical residential cleaning include?
    Residential cleaning varies based on your home's needs, and we tailor our services accordingly. A basic or “mini” clean covers essentials like vacuuming, mopping, wiping surfaces, and dusting low to mid-level areas - ideal for regular upkeep or a quick refresh. For a deep clean, we go further, dusting high and low areas, cleaning baseboards, handles, light switches, and more. Extras like laundry, trash removal, appliance cleaning, and tidying closets or cabinets are available on request. Whether you need a one-time deep clean, regular maintenance, or a custom service, we’ll create the perfect plan for you!
  • Does Queen Bee Cleaning offer after-hours or weekend cleanings?
